An ordinary and very tasty salad of squid and mussels; Happy birthday

An ordinary and very tasty salad of squid and mussels “Happy Birthday!”

Hello, dear readers! I’m here for you now with a salad recipe from the “hot pursuit” series. The whole point is that practically this weekend we celebrated my anniversary (you can guess how many for yourself :razz:). And I treated my guests to this delicious seafood salad. We love them very much!

So, meet squid and mussels salad , which is very easy to prepare! By the way, this is not the first salad with squid on the Domovenok-Art blog. You will find another very exciting recipe here: “Sea Robber” salad . And there I was just talking about why this sea dweller is so useful. So I recommend it! And we will move on to manufacturing.

For 2 common plates we will need:

• frozen squid – 8 pcs. small;
• mussels in brine – 400 gr. (2 small containers);
• onion – 1 medium head;
• mayonnaise – 3-4 tablespoons;
• vinegar, sugar - a tablespoon.

How to prepare salad with mussels and squid

1. The most tedious step in making this squid salad is cleaning the squid itself. I buy them whole, with tentacles. Their taste is even better compared to frozen peeled carcasses. But cutting such squids takes a lot of time. So, we remove the insides of the squid, remove the films from the carcass and tentacles.

2. Boil water. Meanwhile, peel and cut the onion into quarter rings. In order for the onion to complement our excellent salad, it must first be marinated. Mix the onion with sugar, sprinkle with vinegar and pour boiling water. Leave for 15 minutes covered.

3. In the meantime, cook the squid. We just remember that it is not allowed to boil for a long time, otherwise the meat will become rubber. I usually cook them like this: throw them into boiling salted water in small portions. As soon as it boils, I turn down the gas and count to 60. Then I take it out. And so on.

4. Our squid for seafood salad is ready. Cut them into strips.

5. Open the mussels (I had them in brine, they are sold in jars) and drain the brine. If you come across small aquatic plants, remove them. Mix with squid.

We also drain the water from the onion and add it to the seafood.

We season everything with mayonnaise, homemade . And now our squid and mussel salad is ready! Let's try!

The taste is just good. From time to time it is worth pampering yourself with a seafood salad. And on a formal table, such a salad flies away very quickly (one of the first). Tested. In general, I recommend it!

Have you tried a salad with mussels or squid ? Maybe you have your own recipe? It will be very interesting to exchange views. Write in the comments below.

Eh, after such a hectic weekend of singing and dancing, it’s very difficult to get into the usual rhythm. But I will try. Moreover, I have a couple more very excellent salads in store.

All the best for you! And see you soon on the Domovenok-Art blog! Your brownie Lena.

Salad with mussels and squid

A unique salad with mussels and squid will appeal to all seafood lovers! The recipe is quite simple, the main thing is to purchase the necessary products. The manufacturing process itself will not take more than half an hour. Tender fried mussels combined with properly boiled squid create a unique, harmonious taste.

If you are already tired of all the usual salads, try to prepare the most exotic dish. A salad with squid and mussels will be just right!

Salad recipe with mussels and squid

The highlight of the salad is that we will fry the mussels in butter. Because of this, the taste becomes narrow and gentle. Even those who do not like the taste of mussels appreciated the taste of the salad.

For production we will need:

• 150 grams of mussels;
• 2-3 medium squids;
• 2-3 testicles;
• small onion;
• a teaspoon of 5% vinegar (or dilute the vinegar essence with water 1 to 16 - I use a syringe to dilute);
• butter, mayonnaise, salt, sugar to taste;
• green onions for serving.

Cut the onion into half rings and crush slightly, sprinkle with salt, sugar, pour over vinegar and leave to marinate.

Squids and mussels can be taken fresh or frozen. Saute the mussels in butter. When finished, you can place it on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

If the shellfish is not peeled, then its skin can be removed even more easily if it is washed under hot water or lightly scalded. To prepare the peeled clam, keep it in boiling water for no longer than 5 minutes, otherwise it will be tough. Then cut into strips.

We also cut the boiled eggs into strips, mix all our preparations in a salad bowl, and season with mayonnaise. We serve the dish with green onions or other fresh herbs. Our festive salad with squid and mussels is ready.
